I've had that happen to me. The effects shouldn't be long-lasting.
If she gets worse or doesn't feel better by tomorrow, she should see a doctor.
Next time she does this, she should wear a mask -- and make sure she's in a well-ventilated area.

Sounds like the ingredients in the paint irritated her throat and gave her symptoms of a severe allergic reaction. I would tell her to drink plenty of fluids, take an antihistamine and use a mask OUTSIDE next time. Hope she's feeling better soon - God bless!

You have described most of the effects. Is this the first time she has done this? Is she a complete non-smoker? If no to either, Seek Medical attention immediately! If yes to both, I would not leave her alone. Get plenty of fluids (non-dairy, no caffeine), lot of rest, (if she wants to sleep Seek Medical attention immediately!) and she should improve very quickly.(by the hour). If you do not see marked improvement, I say it again, Seek Medical attention immediately!

That definitely was not smart as she is now finding out.
She probably has chemically induced pneumonia where her lungs and bronchi will produce copious amounts of mucus to try to force the chemicals out and at the same time try to heal the burned surfaces inside.
She really needs to see a doctor for help. They will probably give her medication if not hospitalization for nebulizer treatments. Those consist of inhaled cool mist that has medicine in it so it can be applied directly to the lung tissue.
All the best...

The fumes could get to her lungs. Tell her to consult a physician to find if it already affected her. Then if not, give thanks but insist on using mask the moment she starts painting again. Furniture paint are usually toxic.

she needs to wear a paper mask when using paint or spray painting all these symptoms she has is a result in her not using protection when painting this will pass in a day or two

She is HIGH from all of the fumes, get her out side, and to a doc to make sure she doesn't get any worse from this. This is way kids die from in hauling fumes, it's very dangerous to the brain cells and can cause immediate death. I had a friend who use to huff fumes and one day he did and he never woke up.

she killed many brain cells to start with. Some toxins may have also entered her blood stream, affecting more than just brain cells.
Recommend she try adding more antioxidant-high vegetables to her diet. Also, try Alpha Lipoic Acid. It's an anti-oxidant supplement that will help detoxify the body. And it's something your body needs too.

Severe brain damage.
Seek help immediatly by running out of your current location with both arms in the air waving in a maddening gesture.

u should check the contents on the spraycan to check damages and what to do but the most common thing if she been inhaling it for a while then intoxication.
